10 Powerful Steps to Multiplication Fluency

by Dr. Randy Palisoc

Students must learn their times tables because many math concepts depend on multiplication. These concepts range from fractions and proportions to exponents and equations.Unfortunately, many students struggle to learn their multiplication facts. As a result, they struggle to move forward in math. But it doesn't have to be that way. The 10 Powerful Steps to Multiplication Fluency helps students learn their multiplication facts in as little as three to four weeks instead of taking a year or longer. Not only will students learn their basic multiplication facts, but they will also learn multi-digit multiplication. Once students gain multiplication fluency, concepts from fractions to exponents become much easier to learn.This fluency-building system uses the Magic Sequence, which is easier to learn than the traditional times table. It also uses the Memory Builders, which were designed based on how the brain learns. Instead of using random facts that students are just going to forget anyway, a Memory Builder breaks up the target facts into systematic, bite-sized pieces that are easy for students to remember.This fluency-building system was designed by Dr. Randy Palisoc, a featured TED speaker and a former Founder of the national award-winning Synergy Academies.
